The Bass Zone / Buy? Pass?
« on: March 27, 2016, 03:14:24 AM »
Bunny Brunel sig EUB on eBay, currently $1,500. New ones are $4,500. It's a really good model and it sounds like a real upright, when most others sound just like a fretless bass. And a D block... and they sound great bowed.

But I don't particularly need one (I have a good "real" upright) or have too much extra cash lying around, but at that price... I just don't know what to do. What do you think? Buy? Pass? Is it a good deal?

So in a couple of hours I´m meeting Roger Glover at Ian Gillan´s villa in Faro, Portugal. Anything you guys want me to ask?

Fender Basses / Roger Glover with a Modern Player Tele bass?
« on: March 21, 2016, 04:48:01 PM »
Glover, 3 months ago, in a reunion of The Madisons - his high school band, and Episode Six, his first band with Ian Gillan. He's playing a Modern Player Tele, and there's a white (or MG) Ric 3001 in the backup stand.

Fender Basses / Help: unbalanced Raised-A SD pickups
« on: March 14, 2016, 12:00:09 PM »
A friend has a Seymour Duncan Antiquity Raised-A SCPB pickup in his bass, and - surprise! - the A string is significantly louder. What can he do? I vaguely remember hearing somewhere that you can push the magnet down... Any ideas?

Like this one

Fender Basses / Here's an unusual color combination
« on: February 13, 2016, 11:52:05 AM »
Sienna burst with an Antigua pickguard. Olivia's say it's all original, has the correct serial number sticker under the guard.

Not totally unattractive IMHO.

Rickenbacker Basses / Jeff Rath's 4- to 5-string conversions
« on: January 01, 2016, 12:16:59 PM »
He keeps drilling them.

Some like his initiative since RIC doesn't offer 5-string basses. Me, I think many people will be really sorry in the future for what used to be such nice basses. This is going to be like all the vintage Strats drilled and routed for Floyd Rose trems and humbuckers, IMHO.

What's your opinion?

I was wondering whether I should hit the BIN.
